Plugins for the Envisage framework

The EnvisagePlugins project includes a number of plug-ins for the
Envisage framework that Enthought has found useful for building
scientific applications. Envisage does not require that you use these
plug-ins, but you may find them useful to avoid having to reinvent
these particular wheels.

* Workbench: Provides an application GUI window that supports
views and perspectives, similar to the Eclipse IDE.
* Action: Supports user-interaction command mechanisms, such as
toolbars, menus, and buttons.
* Single Project: Supports a project paradigm for saving
application data, assuming an interaction model in which only
one project can be open in the application at a time.
* Text Editor: Provides a rudimentary text editor interface.
* Python Shell: Provides an interactive Python shell within a
Workbench-based application.
* Debug: Provides the Frame Based Inspector from the ETSDevTools
project as an Envisage plug-in

To build the AcmeLab example:-
cd .../src/acme.acmelab
python setup.py sdist --dist-dir ../../dist/eggs
cd .../src/acme.workbench
python setup.py bdist_egg --dist-dir ../../dist/eggs
cd ../../dist/eggs
unzip the acmelab zip file
add a '.egg' extension to each unzipped folder
Surely there must be a better way to do this? I'm not an egg expert!

up 'state' within that project until the user explicitly saves the project.
The plugin contributes two services to an Envisage application -- one for the
model and one for the UI. Additionally, the plugin contributes a 'Project'
perspective, 'Project' view, and a
